I'm still working on the pool side cook-out Saturday at the marina. If the group gets too large we may have to use the picnic area near by on the property. I'm also trying to arrange what and how much food to pickup from the Rock Hall grocery store. I'd like to keep it simple and sum-what basic, food suggestions are welcome. I thought we could throw together a menu list, and a few of us could go retrieve it then just split the bill among the group. It sounds like a nice small town store that will prepare some foods, platters, salads ect... and they will provide a free shuttle service.

Sounds like a great trip mastreb. We once took our boat to Los Angeles and sailed out of Marina Del Ray for the weekend. Stay safe and remember that the outopilot, if you have one, only works on the boat, not the tow vehiclemastreb wrote:Stopped at Wilton, IA for the night last night at the "worlds largest truckstop" (it was), and decided to skip Chicago and go see the Niagara Falls instead, so we just tucked into Buffalo NY tonight.
At this point I've put about 3000 miles on the stock (upgraded) trailer with the original single axle. Haven't had a stitch of trouble. Hubs are running cool, grease is getting all over the place, wheels are fine, boat seems happy. The tow vehicle is handling it no problem. We've averaged 64MPH overall according to the trip computer and have gotten a total of 15.8 mpg from this 3.5 liter diesel.
Crew is also handling the trip very well.
